1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

As synaptic vesicles fuse, they must continually be replaced with new docked, fusion-competent vesicles to sustain neurotransmission. It has long been appreciated that vesicles are recruited to docking sites in an activity-dependent manner. However, once entering the sites, vesicles were thought to be stably docked, awaiting calcium signals. Based on recent data from electrophysiology, electron microscopy, biochemistry, and computer simulations, a picture emerges in which vesicles can rapidly and reversibly transit between docking and undocking during activity. This "transient docking" can account for many aspects of synaptic physiology. In this review, we cover recent evidence for transient docking, physiological processes at the synapse that it may support, and progress on the underlying mechanisms. We also discuss an open question: what determines for how long and whether vesicles stay docked, or eventually undock?
